I'm glad they started sending face scrubs in those black pots instead of the plastic ones, now I have a chance in hell at getting a free face mask!

I put my Christmas sale soaps in my closet and now the bedroom smells like Lush. It's awesome.

hard to tell what the consistency of this one is... hopefully more like none of your beeswax and less like double choc. ;)

I bought some of this today. It's on the soft side and the taste and smell reminds me of penny sweets. It's got a nice subtle shimmery hint of colour too, although it's a bit on the pale side for me.

I also got given a load of samples! I said I was looking for something to make my hair less frizzy and have more weight and shine and the salesperson suggested R&B so I got given a little pot of that, then I said I was looking for something more conditioner-y and she suggested Jasmin and Henna Fluff-Eaze but said it needed quite a bit to be put on, so then she filled up four of the little tubs with that, hesitated a bit and filled a fifth one!

i got some of this today, and i agree, it smells really nice and it is definitely MUCH softer than double choc. i also agree that it's rather pale... i might try layering it over something, like "regular" lip gloss.

in other, sadder news, i also got some perfume today that i HAAAATE. i ordered it online (because i've never seen it in the store), and i figured i'd *love* it because it's just called "ginger" so of course it's going to smell like ginger, right? wrong. it doesn't smell remotely like ginger, and it's not my bag at all. i'm totally bummed.

I don't really like Lush lipsticks/tinted chapstick things. The red one is okay but for the most part, I think the colors are awful.

Has anyone used Lemony Flutter? I saw a nail blog say it's one of their fave things for nails/cuticles

I'm currently using it, even though I never dared try it before, since I'm allergic to calendula (marigold). But they gave me one of these tiny tester pots, and I didn't have any bad reactions. It's the best thing for my hands in winter, even though it smells a lot like those anti-mosquito candles. ;)

Handy Guru is the vegan hand cream. Any experiences with that one? I need a thick and moisturizing hand cream.

Tiny Hands. I've used it and didn't really like it. Once it gets small it tends to break into a million tiny little pieces that are hard to use and the oil doesn't absorb into my hands very well so it would just kind of sit on top of my skin.

okay, whew, sorry for being the vegan police you guys! i have just been obsessed with lemony flutter (in the pregan days i always used burt's bees cuticle butter), but i had memorized that it has lanolin & beeswax. i allowed myself to get a little excited there, heh.

anyscoot, i've been using ultrabalm instead. it works pretty well for that purpose.

i also use handy gurugu; i switched from aveda hand relief (my loooooong standby) after the china debacle. it's quite different as far as smell and consistency, but it absolutely works just as well. heavy so you don't need much, soaks in well so you don't have greasy hands after a couple minutes, and i only have to use it twice a day (my habit is in the morning after getting ready, and right before bed).

i got a tiny hands in one of my holiday gift sets, but i haven't tried it yet... one of my friends is a frequent hand-washer, though, and she really likes it.

Blousey is kind of nice, not a lot of lather there but with dryness of winter, nice to have a moisturizing shampoo. On the other hand, Happy Happy, Joy Joy advertises itself as 'lightly scented'. Lightly scented meant me using a small amount in an enclosed shower gave me a headache. Once I rinsed it off, the smell seems ok but I can't imagine ever buying it again. Obviously Lush and I disagree about the meaning of lightly scented.
